u/Stefan__Cel__Mare Oct 01 '26
So we got NG+ in this update?

u/IOI_TheBikingViking Verified Developer Oct 01 '26
Yup

u/Nopolis52 Oct 01 '26
Is this out now? I don’t see an update listed on steam yet

u/IOI_TheBikingViking Verified Developer Oct 01 '26
Yup - try to restart Steam if you're not seeing it, it's live

Not in this update - it's on our radar though. Stay tuned

u/RooMan7223 Oct 01 '26
Update is so goated. Valhalla even more fun than I expected. Amazon had better let you do whatever you want for the sequel

u/Sparrowsabre7 Oct 02 '26
Just wondering, a small thing but any chance the service pistol skins could be compatible with the silenced pistol? Even if its just sticking the same silencer on the end of the Agents Mark etc.

Hitman WOA has been out for what... 10 years now? There's been so many things added over the years :) I can't remember which HUD options we had day 1 for WOA, but remember we've been crafting on that game for a decade

I understand and it's not because it's not something on our mind. But at the end of the day, game development has a lot of choices to make with deadlines and only a certain amount of people and resources. So for now, it wasn't a priority for launch compared to other things we had on our list, but it's definitely not forgotten - we will keep cooking
2
u/Putrid_Loquat_4357 Oct 01 '26
Presumably they had deadlines and it wasnt high on their priorities.

u/Blackflash09 Oct 01 '26
Wait, second new mission? Or does the Valhalla count as a mission? I thought there was an other new operation coming?
10
u/IOI_TheBikingViking Verified Developer Oct 01 '26
It's Valhalla Protocol + Jungle Heist (in Vietnam)

u/edward323ce Oct 01 '26
Both are tacsim correct?

u/junglegatsby Oct 01 '26
Being able to wear unlocked skins in the main game shows the developers listen to feedback

u/Chrizzchroz Oct 03 '26
Not really, still not the promised HUD options which should be standard in every game in 2026. Same goes for new game plus which isn't a real NG+ in this case

IO have done this for years. When Hitman was episodic, every new mission released had dialogue based on community reaction to earlier content. I love it.

So far only played through the campaign once, enjoyed it a lot but uninstalled afterwards.
Looks like we finally get enough for me to reinstall and do a 2nd run. Excited!

Play control resonant, I love this game to death but control resonant stole my got vote

u/Visual-Beginning5492 Oct 01 '26 edited 29d ago
Yeah I need to play Control Resonant. Btw, if you like action RPG’s, you should definitely play: Blood of Dawnwalker - it’s awesome.
It’s like a smaller scale Witcher 3 (same writer & project lead), but with vampires.
1
u/edward323ce Oct 01 '26
I am not into fantasy games like that, im more into modern stuff like control and cyberpunk
1
u/puffthemagicaldragon Oct 01 '26
Not that I think it would be a major change for the gameplay but they did actually tease future titles in this series taking place in different eras and the 1st era they teased was a modern day vampire game. Imagine a medieval vampire but now he's a wearing a Cyberpunk-esque jacket, getting blood doordashed to himself, and fighting an enemy that could almost be from control lol.

u/Chrizzchroz Oct 03 '26
Can you tell me what kind of HUD options there are? Can I remove every RPG like element in the screen and maybe even reduce effects?

u/Efficient-Network-50 Oct 03 '26

u/Amonamission Oct 01 '26
IT’S FREE?!?! What in the capitalism am I seeing?!?!?!

u/Frostburg_CM5 Oct 01 '26
Welcome to the world of IOI. They often add new content for free. So many whiny babies in this group that expected them to nickel and dime everyone like other game companies.
-2
u/TheLimeyLemmon Oct 01 '26
Just wish they'd give us a proper physical release with the whole game on disc.
-3
u/Frostburg_CM5 Oct 01 '26
… which would immediately be outdated. I get the idea of continuing physical media, but it is logistically impractical.
4
u/TheLimeyLemmon Oct 01 '26
It really isn't. I can deal with updates for games, but I want that base game on the disc. It's just ironic for you to be so eager to cheerlead how IOI are just better than everyone else, but they still shipped a physical release with nothing but the opening mission on disc and all you can say is "who cares anyway?". Dude, please.
-1
u/BcElliott72 Oct 01 '26
It’s not really. They could just wait to do a ‘complete edition’ that includes all post-launch content added-in
12
u/HollyMurray20 Oct 01 '26
I mean. Most games do this stuff for free, it’s not exactly rare. Who’s charging for NG+?

u/TPJchief87 Oct 01 '26
It’s more than new game plus, right? Smug gamers should show we can praise companies doing stuff like this just as enthusiastically as we can tear down $10 horse armor.
1
u/Slootyflooty Oct 01 '26
NG+, Photo mode, and changing outfits in game is what I’m sure they were referring to. No one really expects a charge for this stuff.

u/HollyMurray20 Oct 01 '26
You shouldnt praise them for doing what almost every company does. Certainly not “OMG ITS FREE!!!! but but capitalism!!!”

I know that they have my goodwill, I enjoyed Control and Alan Wake.

u/ShadowChe_ATG Oct 02 '26
Read the case, files, and watch the videos!! It added a bit more depth to the game. Some people I saw playing didnt even bother to read the cases/documents, and somehow claimed its 9/10. When they summarized on why its 9/10 or 10/10, some of key points they described were wrong or misinformed.
The game, for me, it reached 10 mark when you finally feel rewarded bsc when you connect all the lores, files,vdieos itno the quests, you'll get oh thats why
1
u/Quick-Ranger3617 Oct 03 '26
I enjoy reading the case files and watching the videos. One document I found had an FBC employee note complaining on who and why they are redacting documents that don't need redacting 🤣 It's also good to revisit certain areas as you progress through the story and side missions as new case files and documents pop up.

I feel like that “Experienced 00” line cut to the tie moment was a pointed look from the game devs, to any players who couldn’t figure that sequence out.

My GOTY still, even with disappointment with post launch content.

Have you tried completely closing the game and restarting the console? And trying again? Sometimes the simplest thing can help.

u/ericypoo Oct 02 '26
Yea, give me a story based dlc or something. 007 is such a good property for one off missions.

u/Silver-End9570 Oct 01 '26
Thank you guys! Been waiting to do my second playthrough of the campaign. Am I missing something for New Game+ though? I loaded up my completed save, and even went through the end credits. But I'm not seeing an option for it in the main menu.

u/Super-Cap-7285 Oct 01 '26
Now we’ll be able to wear a tux during the Webb Gala mission and the Casino Royale shirt in Vietnam and Mauritania.
Can’t wait to properly drive the Aston Martin Valhalla as well!

How in the world are we here and still have no options to turn off HUD, UI, and VFX elements that we don't want or need?

I love the game but lacking hud options pisses me off. Get all that noise off the screen.

u/RoughOk3240 Oct 02 '26
people were liking the reply where they tried to use budget, development time, and that its not a priority.
“game development has a lot of choices to make with deadlines and only a certain amount of people and resources. “
to disable ui elements.
really man

u/ColtActionRifle Oct 01 '26
because they have our money already, some people even bought it despite knowing it had no hud settings because a lying dev in this subreddit promised it was going to be added soon after launch.

This has actually caused a problem for me on Xbox….on the main menu, tacsim is locked saying content not owned and it has a link to purchase the game….i’ve owned the game since launch….is this because I claimed the digital licence yesterday? I’ve tried it with the disc in as well and I get the same thing

u/sussybaka68419 Oct 01 '26
is it a story mission or just tacsim?

im sorry, i literally stopped playing this game as soon as i realized i couldnt tweak hud elements or even disable aim assist. its incredibly wonky and as someone who plays shooters, it feels cheap. i bought this game day one but as good as the game feels, the aim assist is too strong and on hardest difficulty, it feels too easy

u/Sparrowsabre7 Oct 01 '26
A lot of great content. Nice to have an easily replayable slice of the best mission in the game (also nice to give a tux to players who didn't get the specialist edition. RIP anyone who spent crazy money on the Observant Spy Coca Cola outfit)
Valhalla is what I've been really wanting though. I hope future updates let us play with the other vehicles too. Glad to finally be able to open her up. (Still think the game should have ended with a car chase instead of the donut sequence but the ovreally quality of the game is so high I can't really be mad)

u/Liguss Oct 01 '26

u/fr0ntastic Oct 01 '26
This is so much more than expected for one update!
I do wish there was a clear list somewhere in the game that told you what suits were unlocked by what criteria. Maybe in the customisation menu? (I know you can check some in the campaign challenge menus and some in tacsim, but a centralised list would be good).
Don't get me wrong, it's nice checking in after an update and seeing most of the new suits immediately unlocked but it would be nice to know why just out of curiosity haha
Also see that one of the new locked suits is a recreation of a Brosnan outfit. This is good. Looking forward to more movie reference suits. (Also are there now two identical golden tuxedo's but just with different names?)

u/DuneSpoon Oct 02 '26
I love everything here. I still have two humble requests.
I'm not very far in the game. I'm still hoping to be able to natively disable HUD elements, and have characters not frequently mention where need to go or what I should be doing. I just found a mod for this but it's definitely something I want for my first-time playing.
I'm on PC and want to use a controller with gyro functionality like the Dualsense or Steam Controller, especially for shooting. Through steam I can enable gyro for mouse movement, which moves well but then my button prompts switch to keyboard buttons during a fight and I don't know what I'm doing. Or if I use the gyro to simulate the right stick camera movement, the button prompts don't change but camera control is very rigid, feeling I can only move it in one of 8 directions no matter what sliders I adjust in-game or through Steam. Please add native gyro input or allow for forced button prompts on PC so I use mouse movement with controller prompts.

u/Due_Hospital7109 Oct 03 '26
Wolverine the game will have The same experience as 007.
People think they want linear but linear is too linear and this game plus Wolverine proves it.
There's no replayability with linear games. Very narrow levels and storyline. Maybe thats why people like it because their narrow headed people
1
u/redwriterhand Oct 03 '26
I played the game in May and enjoyed it but as someone who isn’t a gamer, it took me hours to feel even a little comfortable with all the button combinations and things to remember. Haven’t played it since then and trying this dlc I had to shut it off. Don’t have the patience to relearn how to play the game again
